Oh you mean land, not parts... I'm stupid.

I use eve overhaul wip

That Ares V is just about right,, good job, I haven"t tested it yet, how much payload can it lift?

- - - Updated - - -

Are the mk3 cargo containers functional? I have to drop 14 to the surface we need small part counta for those.

- - - Updated - - -

Hey I can provide my Ares V when I get home.

Also, for anyone making the MAV, it actually has three stages, the ISRU and landing stage, and two ascent stages.

Posting this from Edinburgh Castle.

My current DAV is an SSTO because Duna gravity is so low I wasn't even trying. Will have to nobble it a bit and add a last stage.

Yeah that Delta II needs a lot of work, shimmies like crazy when the SRB's are detached, there is no Lander just the rover, crazy stages with mono and LFO at the same time. It would probably get there and land the rover (with separatons and parachutes?) but thats it's only real similarity with the pathfinder mission

- - - Updated - - -

Yeah, the containers are functional, about 3 lengths are useable, but it might need some tweaking, as I don't have the time to fully work it out.

OK did some testing, gets to orbit no problem, nice to fly, could use some separatons on the boosters, if you are turning when they go say goodbye to your engine. Lots of RCS and Twitches :wink:? Once I get to LKO Mechjeb tells me the stage has 970m/s of dV left and 1680m/s total, according to the updated Delta-V map I need 2150m/s from LKO to Duna so we might need to tweak that. Otherwise looks good. I'm going to test the lander on Duna, might want to think about a mk3 to 3.75m adapter on the ends, rather than tanks inside the bay, I think we will need the room.

What are the multitude of Gigantors for?

- - - Updated - - -

Yep the landing needs some tweaking, I will get some pictures up soon, there is a balance issue, plus all the descent engines were staged together giving you lateral as well as vertical thrust. Got it down in one piece but even at under 10m/s it got explody and the cargo fell out. Made for nice pictures though ;)

So the front page has been updated and is filling out nicely, I have some craft files I have not uploaded yet (as they are kinda sucky). I have started making the save file. I might build a quick and dirty Hermes as a placeholder to start working out the flyby and doing some rover journeys to estimate the rendezvous times.

If anyone wants to make any of the craft not made yet, or test the made craft or rebuild the made craft to be better please feel free, just post the craft file and pictures up here, no need to ask, and all help is welcome. If you make a better rover or ship or base, you won't be stepping on anyones toes, the idea is for me to be more of an aesthetic director not the ultimate builder of every craft.

Edit: especially if you want to do rover journeys, no really Rover journeys would be good, for the love of mick won't anyone do rover journeys! :D ....eh hmm I will push out the map soon.

How heavy is the payload? Eyeballing that rocket I can see it probably has too much fuel in the second stage. If they are empty, its a little too tall.

On the container, there are action groups for the engines, but you can do what you want with the fuel, as I have another thing I'm working on for this:

Everyone loves the Hermes

Major you are gonna love the new Delta II, I had to build a new one, the one I downloaded from KerbalX was really sucky. The numbers work out really well. I will release it hopefully tomorrow, just want to make a couple of tweaks.

I mean the Atlas V. How heavy is the payload? Also I think the second stage is missing a pair of motors.

I would love to have a look at yours dude. I am working on my own Duna mission at the moment and it's taking all my KSP time as it's a tricky build.. If you need specific help I will see what I can do

Off topic like, but has anyone else seen the new trailer?

Thanks for that BananaIsAFruit, have made a screenshot album here

Some observations, it does look like the MAV is single stage with a detachable capsule, the rover is a lot bigger/wider (but those wheels are a perfect match for the ruggedised rover wheels though) and he seems to have a trailer

- - - Updated - - -

Also the hab airlocks are quite long, it is circular with a dome shaped roof.

The Delta IV is for a mission called Iris that only happens in the book, and it does not affect this recreation. Not to be confused with the real Iris Nasa mission which was launched on a pegasus XL.

SelfishMeme, you should totally read the book. You'd really like it (and you'd see all the inconsistencies with the movie (like how the MAV is 2-staged and the rover has 4 wheels not 6)).

Just sayin :)

I believe he has read the book, but he is basing this off of the movie rather than the book.

I have read the book, a couple of times and have just reached the MAV again in the book. I am basing it off my own interpretation off both, sometimes it's easier to follow the book to make it work with stock parts, otherwise the visual memory of this story will be whats in the movie. I want it to be representative of both and also be Kerbal.

Updated the Delta II to the new one I made, the old one was unsuitable, now working on F%^^^$^$&^ Pathfinder again, multiple layers of chutes, solid rockets, thrusters, aeroshell, tether, balloons, what the hell NASA and then you go and make it a tetrahedron, that unfolds.
